Nepal has indentured girl child laborers. Slaves, in other words.
KATHMANDU, JUN 02 – At least half a dozen Kamlaris (indentured girl child labourers) were injured when police launched an indiscriminate attack on them while they were staging a sit-in at the entrance of Singha Durbar, Kathmandu on Sunday.
The agitating Kamalaris have been demanding the government investigate the killings and ongoing sexual exploitation of Kamlaris.
How rowdy of them.
Five Kamlaris including Sita Chaudhari and Sujata Chaudhari, of Kailali, and Urmila Chaudhari, of Dang, fainted during the police attack . Some of them have suffered fractures of their bones and head injuries during police intervention.
The injured have been taken to Anamnagar-based Annapurna Hospital and Bir Hospital for treatment. They have been staging protests for the past four days demanding an end to the violence perpetrated on Kamlari girls.
And their protests were rewarded with more violence. Them that’s got shall get.
Thanks for this. I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
If anybody wants to help, the only dedicated organization I could find was Nepal Youth Foundation (http://www.nepalyouthfoundation.org/) so maybe go check them out.
Thanks, xenologer.
Urgghh … that passive voice. “Some of them have suffered fractures of their bones and head injuries during police intervention.”
I wonder how they got those injuries? Maybe they “suffered” them spontaneously?
Fainted. Head injuries.
Let me guess, if it hadn’t been girls protesting they would have had to find another euphemism for knocked out?
How very ugly.
